I was looking over last week’s “wines of the week” and noticed that the first two wines had something in common. While one was made in Sicily, and the other in Argentina’s Mendoza region, both were a blend of their respective native red variety and petit verdot. Petit what?

There’s one wine I didn’t mention, however, and not because it didn’t make my list as one of the better rieslings being made there.
